September Currently

I cannot believe that it is September already! The summer just flew by and now fall is upon us! It's still pretty warm here in North Carolina but I am sure that cooler temperatures will be upon us soon! There are so many fun things to do during fall! The Mr. and I go to Linville Falls in the Blue Ridge Mountains every year and I just cannot wait to go this year! In fact, Linville Falls is where the Mr. proposed so it's definitely a special place for us!
 
Anyways, I am linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade for Currently September!
 

Listening- I seriously love listening to Christy Nockels! She is one of the worship leaders at Passion City Church and is a very well known Christian artist! Her voice and songs are seriously amazing and anointed! {Fun Fact: I walked down the aisle to her song, Grace Flows Down.}
 
Loving- I am loving that it is officially September because that means that Krista Wallden's Fall VIP Membership has begun! I was a part of the Summer VIP and just knew that I had to do the Fall VIP as well! I opened up Week 1 today and Krista didn't disappoint! I'm obsessed with all things Creative Clips! You can find the Fall VIP here.
 
Thinking- It seems like my mind never rests when it comes to school stuff! We had a great first week of school in my class but of course I am spending this weekend reflecting on what I did last week and what I need to do this week. We are going to hit the ground running this week with literacy centers! I spend last week introducing the concept of centers with fine motor centers that I got from Crystal at Kreative in Kinder. You can find those centers here and here.
 
Wanting- Three day weekends are just so nice! I get so much done during them and still get plenty of rest! The Mr. and I are getting to spend some time together too which is always my favorite! I know some schools only go to school Monday-Thursday every week! I am so curious to how that works out! If that's you, let me know!
 
Needing- I am planning a big post on Friday! It is stuffed full of freebies that I have been working on! Make sure to Follow me on TPT and Bloglovin to make sure that you don't miss out on the fun! These will be the first products in my TPT store! Thanks Megan Farve from I Teach What's Your Superpower for the cutest graphics that I used to make this banner!
 
3 Trips
Vegas- I am determined to go to Vegas for the I teach K conference or the TPT conference next year! I loved seeing everyone's pictures this year but I want to be a part of all the fun this year! Anybody want to come with?!
Hawaii- The Mr. and I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and who wouldn't?! The beaches are so pretty that they look like the screensavers that you used to put on your desktop in the 90's. One day!
Portland- I became an aunt for the first time in July and my little nephew lives in Portland! I get to meet him for the first time this coming weekend because my sister-in-law is coming into town to visit and I just can't wait! The Mr. and I are planning on going to Portland during the fall this year to visit baby Jude and his awesome parents and we are so excited! The pictures that my sister-in-law have posted since they have moved there have been amazing! Neither of us have been to the West Coast so we are excited to take the trip soon!

  1. I'm glad you had a good first week! I'm sure your kiddos will love your literacy centers this week!

    I had to laugh at your comment about the Hawaii screensavers in the 90s! Didn't we all have those? I know I did. I'd love to visit Hawaii!

  2. Lindsey! I'm your newest follower! I absolutely love your sweet blog! The colors just blow me away. :) Congratulations on your baby nephew! I bet Portland is a beautiful place. I've always wanted to venture out that way. I'm down in South Florida, so let me tell you...the heat has not stopped! Praise Jesus for your coolish North Carolina weather!!!

  5. Isn't it crazy how even after we leave school we keep thinking about school and what we want to do and change up for the following week? I grew up in Portland! Such a pretty place.

  6. I could totally work at a Mon-Thurs school. Even if the day was longer, I would be able to get so much more done on the weekend. I want to go to Hawaii and Vegas, too!
